I intend to make the most of the special days ahead. I want to enjoy every second that I have with my husband, kids, and the rest of the family and friends. Too often during the course of the year, we forget what the real priorities are and focus on the superficial.
The last couple of months made me realize how precious life is and how much I am thankful to still have many people that I love around me.
I have embraced the chaos that sometimes shows up in my life, because now I realize that with chaos comes hope and second chances.
The chance to tell my kids that it’s ok to fail at times as long as you keep on trying and that no matter what you will love them above all, the chance to be a better wife, the chance to show your parents that you are grateful for all the support and love they give you, the chance to tell your best friend that her kindness and wise words mean the world to you, the chance to tell your big brother that you will always need him in your life even if you are now a grown up too, a chance to be a better Christian and live by the principles that you are teaching your children, a chance to give back the same blessings that you receive all year long…
It’s also a second chance to let go of all bitterness and to forgive and really forget… I just want to be able to look back one day and smile on God’s work in my life.
Christmas is a time to rejoice, count our blessing, and show everyone that we love how much we care about them.
Merry Christmas to all and may the year ahead bring you peace, love, a good health, and all God’s blessings…
